 The Role of Planning in China's Market EconomyGregory Chow Journal of Chinese Economic and Business Studies, 2005, vol. 3, issue 3, 193-203 Abstract: This paper addresses issues raised in 'The Background of China's Planning Institutional Reform' circulated in advance of the International Conference on China's Planning System Reform, held on 24-25 March 2004 in Beijing. The discussion is structured around four topics: (1) the scope of planning; (2) the administration of the planning system; (3) methods of planning; and (4) the coordination of planning with market activities. A critical issue is whether the Chinese government is doing too much or too little in planning the broad range of activities in a market economy, and various policy options are examined in relation to this issue. A central conclusion is that as China's economic and political system evolves within the framework of the Five-Year Plan, the scope of planning will naturally reduce as the market sector replaces a number of activities formerly undertaken by government.
